According to some Wiki edits, Indian dancer Amala Shankar may have died at 100. Can't find any confirmation though, and that's strange cause it happened on June 4th according to the edits.

With all these aged publicly known people falling off the perch, surely Roberta McCain, Eileen Ash (Whelan) & Norman Lloyd won't all survive into their 13th decade - mathematically that is!

Come on, she did not even have an English wiki page before her death. Her fame is mainly due to marrying a President of the Supreme Court and reaching an extreme age, but she was not a top politician by any means. 

 

Song Ping is the only top Chinese politician in his 100s right now.

He didn’t say she wasnt.  He said she wasn’t a top politician, which you (I presume pasting the headline) said.

She first represented the country at the 1938 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games when she was only 19 and when Jamaica competed under the British colonial flag.

A quick list of Indian centenarians, or possible centenarians.

 

1)Sudhakar Chaturvedi (1897 or 1901): Claims to be a disciple of Gandhi, a famous Vedic scholar and the oldest man ever. According to more sensible sources this man was born in the mid 20s, so should be around 95 now. He probably used someone's else identity. Currently not in the best health, his family declined to let him be interviewed or seen in April, so there is a good chance he's already dead.

2)Dharam Pal Singh (1897): Claims to be the World's oldest marathon runner ever. His claims have been exposed as hoaxes multiple times, and the man was actually born in 1938, he is just using the documents of an older deceased person. But it will be funny to see him living into his 140s 

3)Fauja Singh (1911): I suspect he is a fraudster, probably 10/15 years younger. Still impressive.

4)Pappukutty Bhagavathar (1913): Malayalam singer and actor who has not made a public appearance in years. He is said to be in fair health, but 106 is 106.

5)G. Venkatasubbiah (1913): Kannada lexicographer. Still goes strong as he was seen voting at last polls in April/May.

6)Saalumarada Thimmaka (1910, 1913 or 1919): Tree planter who was in uber-dire health some years ago. God knows how, she recovered and is now fairly active.

7)Aiyappan Pillai (1914): Lawyer and current VP of ruling party BJP. Still going strong, but you can say this about all of them.

8)Lambert Mascharenhas (1914): Of Portuguese descent (Goa). Journalist and Padma Shri awardee, Catholic.

9)Man Kaur (1916): Old athlete.Or claimant to be and old athlete.

10)S. I. Padmavati (1917): Cardiologist.

11)Shyam Saran Negi (1917): Indian first voter. Ever. Looks miserable.

12)Sharadchandra Shankar Shrikhande (1917): An important mathematician.

13)H. S. Doreswamy (1918): Journalist and activist

14)Philipose Mar Chrysostom (1918): Metropolitan of the Syrian Church.

15)K. R. Gowri Amma (1919): Head of a small party in Kerala, former Minister.

16)Amala Shankar (1919): famous danseuse, widow of Uday Shankar.

He had to give the centenarians a breather because he needed to focus all his energies on Balbir Singh.
